LT265/70/R17. Bridgestone Duravis. Load E.3195 lbs at 80 PSI Spare tire is 16" for some reason.
Been there with 09 GMC. I thought my 16" spare was a factory goof and went yelling to the dealership. They set me straight. The 17" alloy wheels are an option....your spare is indeed from the factory 16" steel wheel with a 265/75/16 tire rated at 3415lbs....the 265/70/17 and 265/75/16 are the same hub to tread diameter so no issues there. I bought after market Alcoa 16" wheels and put 265/75/16's on them. Wheels where rated at 4600lbs and Michelins at 3415. GM nut covers fit the Alcoa wheels perfectly.
